Homestead Meadows, listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, contains the remains of over a dozen cabins from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Lion's Paw Trail ventures deep into lower and upper-montane ecosystems, a rich composite of arable land, abundant natural resources and perennial streams to the Engert, Laycook, Boren and Hill homesteads. Visitors will enjoy lengthy intervals of diverse forests, expansive meadows and exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities en route to these important historical sites.
